Chapter 80: Eat you
Charlotte and Dave stood frozen, their gazes locked with intense emotion. After a while, Charlotte broke their eye contact, overcome with emotion, and began silently sobbing, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.
"I shouldn’t have come here. I thought I was completely over you," she said, still avoiding his gaze. The man she had loved for so long was finally expressing his feelings, but now she was already committed to someone else.
"I badly want you, Charlotte, and all I need is a go-ahead from you," Dave admitted, moving closer to her.
Taking a step back, Charlotte asked, "What do you mean?"
"Since that wedding day, I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind. Then you suddenly appeared, and all my thoughts revolved around you once again. I couldn’t help but want to kiss you back on that tree. I know I am being selfish, but can you leave Ronald? I would take care of your child as if it were my own!" Dave spoke rapidly, making promises and asking for Charlotte’s affection.
Charlotte couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was Dave really asking her to be with him? And he had the audacity to ask her to leave Ronald, the man who had mended her broken heart and shown her true love, for someone like him? And what child was he talking about?
"Ronald was the one who healed the heart you broke. He showed me what true love means, and what? You want me to leave him for you?" She sneered, her eyes burning with anger. Leaving a good man for a man like Dave was out of the question.
"I... I can fix all my mistakes," Dave weakly offered, struggling to find the right words.
"There’s no mistake to fix, Dave! Look at yourself. You can’t stay committed, you are not over your ex-girlfriend, and you believe you can easily win people over just like you are trying to do now!" Charlotte lashed out, making him realize the gravity of his unchangeable flaws. He was a complete mess!
